Additionally, the purchase of land previously belonging to the State of Washington, located just to the south of the old golf course property, enabled the city to expand the course to 18-holes, including the unusual dual-elevation portion of the course. Unlike most area golf courses, the first four holes of the mod- ern golf course are at 250 to 400 feet above sea level; the remaining 14 holes are at an elevation of about 50 feet. The course was reopened in 1970 as the Auburn Municipal Golf Course under the management of the Parks, Art, and Recreation Department. Nestled along the Green River and situated on 150 acres, the eighteen-hole Auburn Golf Course offers scenic views from several hillside holes. The fair, but challenging par 71 course is just over 6,450 yards and hosts over 50,000 rounds of golf each year. The course features over 20 bunkers, two ponds with fountains and a waterfall. The current clubhouse was built in 2007 and was the last major update to the course. It includes a pro shop, 150-seat banquet and meeting facility, a basement for carts and general storage and a 110-seat full-service restaurant. This clubhouse, located on the The Auburn Golf Course has plenty of history and this year celebrates a milstone as the course turns 50 years old and remains one of the busiest courses in the NW. • Inside Golf - June Issue 2020 • • In THE NEWS • • Page 7 •

Northwest Washington is a golfer’s dream of choices.

The Olympic Peninsula has millions of visitors each year from all parts of the globe as the reputa- tion as a scenic wonderland is well known. Here’s a look at the golf courses in this region:

Port Ludlow Golf Course Golf Magazine named Port Ludlow as one of the top five public courses in Washington. The two 9-hole courses are named Tide and Timber. Both nines have elevation changes with tall trees on the fairway edges. The course is well bunkered especially around the greens. A tree trimming project on the back nine has opened up some shots as overhanging trees were trimmed, especially the tee shot on the par-4 13th hole. A short ferry ride from Edmonds and a 16-mile drive from the Kingston ferry dock, Port Ludlow offers the perfect get-away for anyone looking to take a break from the city. With a quaint inn, restaurant, spa and full service marina, the resort offers something for everyone.

Lake Cushman Golf Course Lake Cushman Golf Course sits on the edge of the Olympic National Park, high above the Hood Canal community of Hoodsport. The course and surroundings are truly a walk in the park – or a ride if you choose – where wildlife sighting is common. The course is challenging yet playable for all levels of golfers. There is also a driving range and practice putting green at the course. Hot dogs and snacks are available at the pro shop. Discovery Bay Golf Course (top) is one of two 18-hole courses in Jefferson County; Port Ludlow’s championship layout offers outstanding golf.
